As we discuss topics to make your lawn as beautiful as possible, perimeter pest control service is an issue that inevitably pops up. After all, the right pest control ensures you can comfortably enjoy your gorgeous green grass. Fortunately, the perimeter pest control process is simple – our technicians make quarterly visits to apply a chemical barrier around your home’s perimeter. It can deter bugs from entering your home, and it can also keep many pests away from your yard.
Make the Most of Perimeter Pest Control Service
There are plenty of things you can do to extend the effects of your perimeter pest control service. Observing some simple and common-sense steps can help ensure a bug-free home and yard for your family to enjoy. Here is a list of easy things to ensure that each perimeter pest control service application is maximized all quarter:
- Don’t store firewood next to your home. Stack it several feet away from the house to deter termites and other bugs from taking up residence.
- Eliminate standing water, which can be found in empty containers, tires, stagnant ponds, bird feeders, etc. Getting rid of standing water also means getting rid of mosquito larvae.
- Trim shrubs and bushes back away from your home, and clear away leaves and other debris that accumulate along the foundation. This makes it more difficult for insects to access the house.
- Furthermore, if you have mulch lying up against the house, consider replacing it with gravel. Most bugs prefer wood to rocks, so making your perimeter less hospitable will drive insects away to more welcoming locations.
- In addition, eliminate tree stumps and dead plants. These things will only attract more bugs, underground and above, as they decay.
- Just in case any insects make it through the pest control barrier, repair holes in screens and replace old weather stripping around doors and windows. Plus, seal any cracks in your home’s foundation with caulk.
- Make sure that your garbage and recycling cans have lids that fit tightly.
